Client is crashing and I'm getting penalized?

I try to queue up and it works fine. The chat is bugging while I'm in Champion Select and then the client crashes. I have to wait six minutes and take a hit for LP. I queue again... Same thing. I lose more LP and now the timer is half an hour. How is this fair? I understand the maintenance that is going on at the moment, but does Riot? I can't even play an ARAM now. Can I get a reset and some LP back? Come on...

REPAIR YOUR CLIENT! That's what the button is for. It's hardly Riot's fault your computer probably failed to install the patch properly. Take responsibility for yourself and look into what your problem is.

Also what maintenance? All the ticker says is that Rumble and Viktor are disabled, there's no ongoing maintenance.

Don't take this the wrong way, but stop playing ranked.

Also try the admin launcher maybe? I can't play with the standard launcher anymore, I have to use the Admin one (it's in the same directory as the standard one wherever League is installed to, probably C:\Riot Games or C:\Program Files\Riot Games or something similar).

It's not their problem it's the client, it happens to everyone no matter how good the computer is. It's not his screw up that he should take responsibility for, it's the shit client they finally decided to update. They should atleast make some way to reconnect to the champ pick/ban lobby if you dc or crash.

I love these boards. One person has a problem that us not in their control and everyone attacks that person. I might take the "it's your fault" arguments seriously if there weren't so many boards that bring up the client. If many people are crashing, it might not be their own fault.

The client is shit and it crashes and I take a hit, it's not nice, they should atleast make some sort of way to reconnect to the game lobby if the game crashes.

Just had this issue today with the new client update. Client crashed during champion selection screen and I was penalized as dodger after I log back in. Am I supposed to not play the game after it crashed?
